The Pokémon Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are named after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, respectively.
Since their introduction on Gameboy, the two fighting-style Pokémon Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan have been present in the games. Because Pokémon is a Japanese invention, most of the animals' original names were significantly different. When Pokémon were first presented to the Western world, their names were likewise westernised. As a result, these Pokémon were named after worldwide renowned martial artists. Hitmontop, the third Pokémon of the Hitmons, is also named for a martial artist, Larry Top.
